[Boatanchors] moving a broadcast transmitter

I have an RCA BTA1R1 that I will need to move pretty soon.  Ten years ago when I got it, a friend of mine and I merely laid it on its side at the broadcast site, slid it up some 2x8 ramps into my Tahoe and then unloaded into my garage similarly.  Later we laid it horizontal again on a couple of 4 wheel dollies and pushed it down the sidewalk to my front door, after which we just picked it up and carried it through the front door...all 1000+ pounds of it (the iron was removed).  I won't attempt that this time as I have some back problems and don't want any more.  I can hire as many people as required but thought there might be a hydraulic or mechanical way to facilitate the process, specially since I won't have a bunch of people available to help unload it.

Suggestions please.
